Swimming Set of the Week - December 9, 2011
Here's a 300-yard mini set that works well as part of a taper practice.
Swimming Set of the Week - May 13, 2011
The generous sendoffs make this week's set a good choice for speedwork or taper. Make sure you go FAST when you're supposed to go fast...and EASY (but not sloppy) when you're supposed to go easy.

Swimming Set of the Week - September 24, 2010
There are sets that ask swimmers to descend time while maintaining a certain sendoff. There are sets that ask swimmers to maintain time while tightening the sendoff. There are sets that ask swimmers to descend time AND tighten the sendoff. This week's set is a little different in that it asks swimmers to descend time while ascending (increasing) the sendoff.

Got championships? This week's set can help you taper, but can also be a good anaerobic set at any point in the season.
Swimming Set of the Week - December 4, 2009
This week we're posting a set of broken 100s. This would work for an early taper...or a quality set even if you're not tapering.

While it seems a little strange writing a reminder about taper in December, there are many swimmers, from college age to masters, who will be tapering this month.
